What a cool thread.
I gotta say, I found my peaceful place with ML about a year ago, after all that crazy and all that anger and all that mourning, and it felt really good. Like I could finally breathe.
I think part of the reason for that, is that it finally seemed like Alex might have some success. I just loved him as Mick, but when I checked out all his other stuff... (didn't we all?

)... I realized that I also really loved Alex. I always really credited HIM for my connection to ML. I loved all the same stuff ya'll did about the show, but truth be told, had someone else played Mick, I wouldn't be here now. Never would have been here.
So a year ago, I kinda moved on, contentedly, with him. I don't mean I don't still love ML, but I don't mourn it anymore. I'm ok that it's gone, save for re's, and that the fate and adventures of its characters now reside here, in our library, and that the only way I can see
them is in my mind's eye, thru our writers' awesome words.
And I am delighted that the man who gifted us with Mick St. John lives and works and succeeds, at least in some little teeny tiny part, because of the noise we made in his behalf and the support that we, on this fan site, have continued to show him and his castmates. I think Mick would be pleased, cuz I am SURE that Mick is an Alex fan too, and that he and Josef are watching 5-0, and waiting for that Sonny movie. Also real sure he read Trevor's book. I think he wants a hat like the one Mick Angel wore.
